The 9370 FX is for enthusiasts. The standard FX-8350 that I'm using is a TDP max of 125 W. The APU Excavator core of their last Bulldozer line is 30W-45W with a Radeon R9-300 series GPGPU SoC on it.The Zen project is Keller's return and a complete move in a direction that will merge his experience creating Apple's A4 with his vast experience from DEC Alpha, AMD and more.

Metal has nothing to do with OpenCL. It is a low level alternative to OpenGL to reduce the overhead, just like Mantle.The same advantages in Mantle and Metal are being rolled into OpenGL NG (OpenGL 5).Games are heavily congestive on the CPU, not the GPGPU. The reduction in overhead calls improves the performance and reduces tearing, all on the CPU.
